Course Audience 

This course is intended for Azure Administrators who migrate and manage SAP solutions on Azure. Azure Administrators manage cloud services spanning storage, networking, and cloud computing functions, with a deep understanding of each service across the entire IT lifecycle. They take end-user requests for new cloud applications and make recommendations on which services to use to achieve optimal performance and scale, as well as provision, resize, monitor, and tune, as appropriate. This role requires communicating and coordinating with vendors. Azure Administrators use the Azure Portal and, as they become more proficient, use PowerShell and the Command Line Interface.
